Schatz
made a great move to get by Jeffrey and Meyers in turns one and two on the first circuit
and checked out. The best racing was for the final transfer, which Madsen held for a
few laps in the middle of the race. McCarl battled back by and Dollansky made a late
bid as well.

led the 12-lapper in the early going before coming to a stop on lap eight. Landis
assumed the lead, but Dollansky had charged from row five to second the restart and took
the point. Herrera also made a mad charge into a transfer. Swindell

The
25-lapper was a thriller up front. Brown took the early lead and pulled away in
clean air. Bruce slowed to a stop on lap six, bringing out the caution. Brown
led McCarl, a surging Schatz, Lasoski and S. Kinser back to green flag racing. Brown
jumped the cushion a couple of times and on lap 15, McCarl stormed by into the lead.
Six laps later, McCarl was stuck behind the lapped machine of Zomer, and Schatz
made the winning move. A white flag caution for Bruce set up a duel to the end but
Schatz held off McCarl and Brown. S. Kinser passed Brown on the last lap to make the
podium. Dollansky was the hard charger, with Honorable Mention to Kaeding and
Herrera. Twenty cars were running at the conclusion of the race.

Russell
led early, but Humston was charging on the high side and took over on lap four of the
7-lapper. The pass was negated when contact between Carroll and Thornburg, who
upended brought a red flag. Thornburg was uninjured. Humston repeated his pass
on the restart, and Corbin followed suit into second.
Heat
two (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Matt Covington 95 (1*) 2. Ben Wagoner 84 (4*) 3.

Anderson 2a (10)
It
took awhile to get things started and only four cars finished this event. Anderson
flipped after contact with Kennedy when the green fell. He was unhurt. After
Sutton was sent to the back for jumping on the next try at a start, the next attempt saw
he and Petersen contacting, resulting in the 16P backing into the wall.
Selvage dropped out while smoking on lap five, and Bergman and Kennedy also would
eventually exit. Sutton came back from the rear to third, while Covington led the
distance ahead of Knoxville first-timer Wagoner.

Agan
led the distance from the pole. There was good racing for fourth between Bacon and
Dobesh much of the way. Cornell passed Dobesh on the last corner for fifth, but all
would head to the B.

Roberts
led the distance, as he and Garner separated from the pack. This was a stacked heat
with last year's Huset's champ, last year's Knoxville driver champ, last year's owner
champ, and last year's WOW champ all headed to the B.

rode the low groove to the win. Houseman Jr. made a power move by RJ Johnson and
Thompson with two laps to go to capture third and an A transfer.

Russell
led early in the 10-lapper. The battle for the final transfer developed between
Bacon and Morgan who had battled on USAC tracks the last couple of years and now find
themselves in winged machines. Bacon utilized the low side with Morgan up high.
After a slow start, Giannetto and Moro came on to apply pressure to no avail.
Bacon hit the switch with two to go, clearing Grosz, Rosenboom and finally Russell
on the last lap for a thrilling win.

Covington
made a bonsai move past Bakker and Sutton to lead lap one, but it was brought back when
Mosher stopped in turn one. It mattered not, as Covington repeated the exact same
move when the 15-lapper restarted. The only stoppage in the event came on lap three
when Long got upside down on the frontstretch after contact with Corbin. He was
uninjured. Covington led Sutton, Bakker, Roberts and Humston back to green flag
racing, and pulled away. Garner began to assert himself and pick cars off one at a
time, while the leader built his margin and entered traffic. The 19 year old held
on, despite a late charge by Garner to win his first ever sprint car feature. Garner
earned hard charger honors for his efforts. |
